Deadline reports that a drama series is currently in the works at the cable channel that will be executive produced by John Wells, the TV veteran whose credits include ER and The West Wing, and who’s already established himself at Showtime with Shameless, another show about a family lorded over by an awful person. Wells has partnered once again with his fellow Southland producer Jonathan Lisco (creator of Fox’s short-lived, post-Katrina cops drama K-Ville), who will handle the script—notably, completely autonomously from the creators of the original film—about a crooked, presumably now-American clan as they battle police and each other. And while Animal Kingdom, the movie, came to a rather abrupt end, this is Showtime, so they’ll probably learn to love each other for at least six seasons or so.
